ECONOMY Minister Pavol Rusko said that the Slovak power producer (SE) should be sold as a whole, including its debts, which reach Sk71 billion (€1.7 billion).
Rusko also said that he was convinced there would be "more than three bidders" for SE and that there would be more than one bidder who would be interested in buying SE as a whole.
The minister said that if a buyer who wants to buy SE as a whole was chosen, the sale could take place by the end of 2004.
